ksweezo, They were home more like 4-6 weeks before they went back for the finale. That’s why your figures for calories burned and pounds lost for 1 week didn’t add up ;0)

Congratulations Helen!! What an accomplishment. 48 and she rocked it ~ YA!! Those kids did not expect (as well as anyone else obviously – looking at these blogs) her to come from behind and take the title. I love that she showed all season it was possible for someone older to work hard and win this game as well as win her life back. I loved watching the marathon, and I think because she worked harder she made these kids work hard. The competition they all had between them made them all work harder and hit milestones that the show has NEVER seen. If you look back at the previous years, many of the Biggest Losers did not come close to losing what these 3 lost. What a transformation. I am proud of all 3 contestants….but especially Helen You GO Girl!!

It looks like I am with the majority. I think she planned her “finish” all along. She played team members against each other and bluntly stab others. This is a person with some serious priority issues. Tara and Mike have inspired me. They are truly the winners, even without the money.

I personally was hoping Mike would win!! He is l8 years old and he needed somebodys help in a bad way. I am so proud of him, and I pray that he is able to keep it all off. He has his whole life ahead of him and with the help of this show he has gotten a great start. And he has a beautifull smile!! Ha Ha
I was disappointed with Helen’s win, I feel sorry for her daughter, she too is a beautiful young woman. And I also pray for her, I was really proud of these young adults in this program. they are all winners in my eyes!!

Helen’s daughter won’t see a dime of the money. Helen is in love with Helen……..Most moms would do ANYTHING for their children. You protect them without even thinking, it’s instinct for “most” moms. Helen isn’t like “most” moms……………A “real” mom is selfless NOT selfish……….

I have been wondering how in one week between the semi-final and the final they could lose so much weight…..
If Helen truly lost 30 pounds she would have to burn 105,000 calories ( 30 pounds * 3500 calories per pound). If a person could expend 500 calories in a hour then it would take 8.75 days to burn off all those calories (105,000 cal / 500 calories per hour / 24 hours per day). This would also mean there would be no intake of calories and work out continuously 24 hours a day with no sleep for 8.75 days…
This can’t be achieved even by Jack LaLanne in his prime.
Mike lost 33 pounds which equates to 115,500 calories which may take over 9.6 days to burn.
Tara lost 20 pounds which equates to 70,000 calories which may take over 8.3 days to burn.
Ron lost 41 pounds which equates to 143,500 calories which could take 12 days to burn.

What an I missing????? It just doesn’t add up.

As the mother of 7, 5 daughters, I think Helen is VERY SELFISH! Who sendstheir child home for their own self interest? Shame on her! I cannot be happy for her because she threw her daughter under the bus. I hope the money she won goes into a fitness and healthy eating plan for her daughter! What mother does that??!!!!!!

Helen was my favorite from day 1, and I’m so glad she won. She was by no means “selfish.” If her daughter really wanted to stay, she should’ve stood up for herself, furthermore, Helen offered to go home that week. Think that was BS? Fine, then she played a great game. Either way, she was very deserving, and I don’t see her gaining all of the weight back- her work ethic in the gym is sensational. Helen set two Biggest Loser records: oldest contestant to win, and contestant with the most percentage of weight loss. For anyone to say she didn’t deserve it over Tara is obviously in the wrong.

Helen brings a whole new meaning to “The Biggest Loser”. Of all the contestants from all the seasons, she truly is a loser. And a selfish one at that. Sending your own child home TWICE. Shannon obviously made some strides in the right direction and I hope that she doesn’t let her own mother’s callousness throw her off course. I got so tired of listening to Helen recite her script I fast forwarded over her segments for the past 6 weeks. SHE TOTALLY DISGUSTS ME!!!!!! I have lost over 200 pounds and still have 80 or so to go. I’m 48 and 5′6″, and would never want to weigh 117. She has no muscle she looks 20 years older than her age. If she really was “lifting truck tires” and “running stadium stairs” then where is the muscle to prove it? I can guarantee you that she went on the anorexia laxative diet to end up so skinny. I hope the $250,000 is enough to dry her tears,which she has plenty of, when she gains all the weight back.

In spite of the outcome, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE OTHER CONTESTANTS, YOU ALL DID A MAGNIFICENT JOB, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

you know what. Good for Helen. Yeah I did not think she was going to win. Yeah I thought she was selfish. Yeah I think Tara perfomed better over all. But when it came down to it, Helen got it done. With her 250,000, she can buy alot of personal training for her daughter. What happens later, we shall see. But the bottom line, is Helen did it when it counted. It really looked like to me that Tara thought she had this thing locked up. I think Helen stunned her.
